• In Event: That's the Spirit: Motivation and Spirituality in the Workplace

Abstract

Though much research has been conducted outlining the aspects of motivation, it is important to further uncover how employees are motivated, not just whether individuals are motivated. This research project, therefore, was designed to answer the overarching question: how are employees motivated by communication at work? Within this work four discovered themes of motivation are described and suggestions for future research are offered.
